Highlights
“From the start to finish they were extremely professional. We are tremendously impressed and happy with the result of the work and would highly recommend to anyone.”
“Our experience with Smiley Building Services has been extremely positive. We had a side ground and first floor extension done, and Bas was very accomodating and patient both with the quote provided, and our timescales (as we had been in contact with him nearly 2 years prior to being ready to carry out the works). Him and his team were very respectful and professional, but also down to earth willing to be flexible and take the time to answer questions, make suggestions and explain aspects of the work being carried out we didn't understand ourselves. These aspects really gave us the comfort and confidence in the company to do the job especially as we weren't staying at the Property during the works. Bas always made time to give us updates and ask us for our opinions and input when needed, and managed his team very well to ensure what we wanted was carried out. We would fully recommend Bas and his team both on a professional and personal”
“Smiley Building Services built an extension for me. Bas came up with lots of ideas for me, and carried out the work exactly as he said he would. They arrived on time, and have always come back to fix any problems for me. I have already recommended them to a friend.”

Smiley Building Services did a good job, we were very happy with the finished work
The builders worked from 8.00 to 6.00 some evenings and were very respectful of the fact that I remained in the property whilst the work was being done. There was never a day when they did not turn up, with the exception of Sundays. There was also no quibbling when it came to repairing anything after they had left the site. I would definitely recommend them.

Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
